Main Street America and American Express are teaming up to help small businesses grow, innovate and support their local communities.
Through Jan. 16, eligible small business owners across the U.S. can apply for one of 250 grants of $20,000 each through the Amex Shop Small Grants Program. The program will provide an initial $5 million to fund grants to eligible small business owners across the U.S. Plus.
Recipients will have a 6month period in which to complete their projects, so applicants are encouraged to prepare a ?“ready-toexecute” project plan and a detailed, itemized budget. During that period, Main Street America will provide opportunities for grant recipients to connect and network with each other, complete self-guided elearning courses, and share the story of their business and their Amex Shop Small Grants Program project journey with a variety of audiences.
